Safety system of your vehicle
Seat belt precautions
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always sit in
a rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap belt
should be fastened as low and snug-
gly as possible across the hips.
Frequently check the belt tightness.
A child's squirming may move the
belt out of position. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem in a rear seat. When a large child
(at the age of 13 and over) must be
seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt, and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position. Children at the age of
12 and under should be restrained
securely in a rear seat. NEVER place
a child at the age of 12 and under in
a front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.
When the shoulder belt is fastened
slightly across the child's neck or
face, move the child closer to the
center of the vehicle. When the
shoulder belt is still fastened slightly
across their face or neck, they need
to be returned to a child restraint sys-
tem.
All occupants of the vehicle
must and always fasten their
seat belts. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury in the
event of a collision or sudden
stop. Without a seat belt, occu-
pants may slide too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown
out of the vehicle.
Properly
worn seat belts greatly reduce
these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
of this manual, about seat belts,
air bags and occupant seats.
WARNING
Shoulder belts on small chil-
dren
•
Never fasten a shoulder even
slightly across a child's neck
or face, when the vehicle is in
motion.
•
When seat belts are improper-
ly fastened over children,
there is a risk of death or seri-
ous injury.
